"Older Roombas that bounce around randomly and have the dual rollers with a separate rubber and bristle roller are also great at carpet combing. ... I keep a 690 around just for that reason even though I also have had newer vac and mop combo robots."
"I have 4 cats and every day they pick up all the fur."
"I have two fully-indoors cats and two partly-indoors dogs, and I’m amazed at how much pet hair the Roomba vacuums up each time!"
